Audley End House is one of those grand, slightly magical places that feels like it's been plucked straight from a period drama. Sitting just outside Saffron Walden in the Essex countryside, it's a stately home with sweeping views, ornate interiors and parkland that stretches on for what seems like forever. You can spend the day exploring the house, strolling the gardens, and soaking up the sort of peaceful atmosphere you only get in places with centuries of history etched into the walls. Whether you're into architecture, a bit of social history, or just a lazy wander in beautiful surroundings, it hits the spot.

The story of Audley End House is packed with twists and turns. Originally built on the foundations of a Benedictine monastery, it was transformed in the early 1600s into a lavish Jacobean palace by Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk. At one point it was grand enough to be considered a royal palace, and although it's smaller now than it was in its heyday, what's left is still incredibly impressive. Over the years it's served all sorts of roles, including a military hospital and a training base during the Second World War. The layers of history are everywhere—from the grand staterooms to the atmospheric servants' wing.

There's plenty going on in the area around Audley End too. Saffron Walden is just down the road and full of charm, with a market square, independent shops and little alleyways you'll want to get lost in. The Audley End Miniature Railway is a real hit with families—especially if there are little ones in tow. The River Cam flows quietly nearby and is great for a bit of waterside walking. Just a short drive away, you've got English Heritage's Walden Castle ruins and the gardens of Bridge End—perfect for a quieter day out. For National Trust fans, Hatfield Forest isn't far and offers proper ancient woodland walks.

Essex as a whole has more going on than you might expect. Head east and you'll find the saltmarsh coastline and tucked-away beaches of Mersea Island. Colchester's packed with Roman ruins, museums and a cracking zoo, while Maldon's famous for its sea salt and waterside charm. Dedham Vale is picture-perfect and has inspired painters for centuries, and Finchingfield is one of those villages that feels too pretty to be real. Whether you want food, history, shopping or something a bit outdoorsy, you'll find it in Essex without having to look too hard.

Getting to Audley End is pretty straightforward. There's a train station close by—Audley End Station—on the mainline between London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, so you're well connected from both directions. If you're driving, the M11 is nearby, and the A11 and A120 give you easy access to the rest of the region. London Stansted is the nearest airport, only about 20 minutes away, which is handy if you're flying in. Local buses run into Saffron Walden and the surrounding villages, and it's all compact enough to explore on foot once you're here.

Essex is full of contrast—coastal towns rubbing shoulders with countryside retreats, centuries-old villages not far from fast trains into London. It's got a no-nonsense charm that's often underestimated, but the people are proud of where they're from, and once you dig in a little, you start to see why. You get ancient churches, thatched pubs, big skies and a deep-rooted sense of place, all tucked into a county that never quite plays to type. It's that mix of tradition, character and surprise that gives Essex its edge.
